Responding to the public’s fascination with - and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scaledeveloped by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet mayB. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet toC. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be toD. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet willE. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may

modifying clause in red must modify "astronomers" - eliminate A & B.likelihood...may.. in E is incorrect - "may" is redundant.in C - "will be to" is awkward.IMO (d) is correct.

Will go for Option E.This a case of dangling modifier and hence A, B are incorrect.Out of C,D and E is more concise.

OA is C

A,B -> out incorrect modifiers

What is the purpose of the scale?- to report the probability of comet colliding with th earthso "may " is incorrect usag here.

A & B- in passive voiceC & D - change meaning from "may" to "will"E is the correct answer

I go for C. Another possible answer would be D, but "for rating" is introducing an awkward "likelihood that"

A and B are out. Who is responding to the public's fascination? The astronomers can, but a scale cannot respond to the public's fascination.Responding to the public's fascination, astronomers ....C) ... how likely will be to collide (incorrrect)D) ..the likelihood that something will collide (correct)E) ....the likelihood of something that may collide (awkward)

Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimesundue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scaledeveloped by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particularasteroid or comet may collide with Earth.A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihoodthat a particular asteroid or comet may>>>> 'a scale' does not 'Responding to the public's...', only astronomers will.B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates howlikely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to>>> Same error as AC. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likelya particular asteroid or comet will be to>>>>' to rate how likely' seems akward.D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating thelikelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will>>>>> Correct. the likelihood that something will happen.E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates thelikelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.>>>> likelihood 'of' a particular asteroid or comet that may is not correct since it means that 'scale rates the likelihood of a asteriod or comet' and not the likelihood that asteroid or comet may collide.

Vivek...we would really appreciate if you post OA for the question.....please do not just post the question.
